NEW YORK, July I.-JSy Gould and
Russell Sage are Indignant. They have
grievances They think that Cyrus w
Field is not treating them right. Mr.
Sage voices his indignation and submits
his grievance to the Times in this way
"Mr. Gould is g noble-hearted gen
erous man. Mind you, don't say
word for myself. I'll leave my own
praises TO somebody else. Gould
saved Field from teetotsl ruin end
in his broad minded, open hearted way he

street and the whole country from az

Field, what does ne do? Way, he SITS

Said jay Gould to Russell Sage two
months ago: "Cyrus Is growing old He
shows his age good deal. tell you
I've COTS lots Of pity for him"
When the "pisy" cry started, it re-
